Honorable Mention
Others who could have easily made the list are Gennady Golovkin, Deontay Wilder, and Chris Arreola.
However, Golovkin’s knockouts were with a man, Ishida, who is a natural Junior Middleweight and another, Macklin, whose style was perfectly tailored to help Golovkin shine. These were not competitive fights on paper and were even less competitive in the ring.
Also, Deontay Wilder’s knockouts mostly came over Heavyweights who are nobodies, and bouts with Arreola, Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin or David Haye will need to be made in order to prove his status as a Heavyweight.
Arreola’s knockout of Seth Mitchell was also impressive, reminding us that football players need to be careful if they want to step in the ring at a relatively older age.
